Hey dude...I got 3 kids in college, so please don't lecture me on the need to save money. Me thinks Mr. Car Champ that you should've bought the Fit or a hybrid car if the few miles per gallon have got you into such a tizzy. Just try to enjoy your car and don't have a hissy fit about the few extra mpg's you think you've been gipped. Sheesh...what I'd give for the old days on Edmunds when people were a bit nicer and these trolls weren't lurking about with their negativity! The Sandman

We're all entitled to our opinions and we don't need to jump on others when they see things differently than we do. If you can offer helpful responses to the problem, that would be great, but if you can't, the best thing to do is scroll on by. Let's get back to the cars themselves. Thanks. |

Replying to: sidb (Mar 10, 2007 9:22 am) Now Gas mileage is a matter that upsets me because I got the same MPG in my old car but had more HP. It was rate at 19 29 and I got 25 average. Now I have a car rated at 30 40 and I average 25, which is below the 30 on the sticker. But if we look at the new EPA estimates of 25 36, 25 is decent. Ok so our gripe is that we feel Honda took advantage of the way the EPA has tested its cars since the 70's (i think) to make them a profit during a time of increased gas prices. The fuel curve seems to be adjusted to maximize MPG by the ancient methods of the EPA. If Honda would rework the fuel curve so the car preformed better and got the same MPG, or got more MPG. Then I feel I would be satisfied. Come on we all know the drive by wire thing is a bit crappy. If I step on the gas all the way, the car accelerates slow. If I go half way and feather the gas it accelerates faster. just a thought.

Replying to: imbgrad (Mar 14, 2007 1:16 pm) I agree about moving the new dealership might not be as helpful since you didn't buy the car from them. |

How many times will people have to hear this before they accept it? Why do you think the numbers have changed? And even so the civic still gets very high numbers for the class. Ridiculous.

Please repeat what you just insinuated in plain English...I don't understand what you are trying to say. If anything, I think Honda has done a great job of squeezing out very acceptable mileage in a model that has been a best seller since it's inception. And what a sweet engine the 1.8 is...smooth revving and more than adequate torque up the power band. This is a car that does about everything right. And just look at the resale. The Civic has become an American icon while doing it's job with a bit of class to. What more could anyone ask for? The Sandman
